You will be in a full league Russ - some will just be there via phone

Greg, am I understanding that even though I have signed up early in Orlando, I will still have to be in a phone-in live draft?

Why can't you have all early signups in Orlando in 1 league and then the balance do the league with the phone-drafters?

There were 14 teams that signed up early, right?

Or 12 for the NBC?

I understand the complexities that unbalanced leagues present, but I see a full league of early signups for both Main Events.

It will be very disappointing if this is the case, just as it was last year.

Seems like there should be something in it for people that sign up 6 months before the event.

Not sure what the value of this statement is otherwise..."All earlybird signups are guaranteed to be in full leagues, as stated in our rules." Russ - What did you read that made you believe this was so (you being in a "mixed" draft). It was my understanding ALSO that the first 14 or 12 entered would be in LIVE leagues in Orlando with no phoneins, therefore the reward for signing up early....What makes you think this isn't so? Did I miss something in a thread from Greg or Tom?

John, ETA that it's also what happened last year in Tampa 1.

I just had to post here to put this thread about that stupid FFOC thread I started. Carry on all and tomorrow we will form the main event leagues. Draft spots on Monday for sure.

Greg, what time should we login for the beginning of the pulling out of the hat ceremonies?

Light a candle around noon because some leagues will be determined around that time. Good luck all and with KDS/3RR, most folks should be somewhat happy with their picks.

[/QUOTE]I am sooooo over due for a #1 pick this season. I've pulled countless late slots without a #1 - starting to think its a conspiracy.

I'm counting on Tom's magic hat to even out the odds.
